Opened on July 3, 1920 as Liberty, renamed Roxy in April 1939, closed in early 1953.

One reason why this theater had a name change from Liberty to the Roxy was because Mercy Theaters (who originally opened it) would call many of their first-run movie theaters the Liberty. Second run theaters would be called the Roxy.

It is currently the Roxy Theater Antiques & Gifts owned by Ann Steiger, according to their website. The site also states the Roxy stopped showing movies in 1957. It was a men & women’s clothing store in the early 1960’s before becoming a furniture store, and back to clothing. Apparently the theater logo is at the entrance of the current store on the tile floor.

This was an Alliance Theaters house in 1947.

This is a article about The Roxy Theatre posted today on the Tri-City Herald…. Kennewick’s Ivory Jazz closing its doors … a jazz club, which is the current tenant of the old Roxy Theatre.
